Thread: Hey, Jerry Rice, take off that jersey!

I agree, Pepper. Rice should respect Largent enough to NOT wear the jersey. Largent was the greatest receiver the NFL had seen up until his retirement. What's Largent going to say, "No, you can't wear my jersey." Then he'd look like a dick. Rice needs to suck it up and pick another number.

In any case, good pickup by the Hawks.

Maybe he will catch the ball and stay out of the pot

I like the pickup too.

I agree about the number, it is disrespectful no question. In any case lets hope he can teach some of our wide outs how to catch the GAD DAMM BALL

I totally agree - a retired number is...well RETIRED.

At the same time - I can see how it would be weird for him to switch numbers at this point in his career. He probably shouldn't have signed with a team that had retired his number

Agree about the number!!! However being a Rams fan, I am excited and nervous about getting to see him on a regular basis for a season anyway!!!

Interesting to see him play against the 9ers.

Yup. I'll be at that Seattle/Niner game.

The question you are all missing is, why does Pepper want to see Jerry Rice topless?

He'll be the fourth, maybe third receiver on Seattle, so he won't be that big a factor in that offense.

Go Rams!!

He just got suspended 4 games for it.

Go Rams!!

When KRob is out, he will probably be the third WR.

either way, GO RAMS!!!

fucc St louis, that game was BS

He needs to do like my man Emmitt Smith and never put another jersey on at all. They are tarnishing thier great names and careers.

I think Rice is wearing it to honor Largent and Largent is being cool for letting it happen, but the Seahawks should step in and say that a retired number is off-limits.

Word.

Completely agree Pepper. WTF is the deal here. Sometimes the only recognition a player gets after he is gone is a retired number. Leave it alone and get your own damn number ... than retire it if you can!!!

If Rice catches the ball like he has so far tonight, he can wear that jersey and have his way with my wife!

Man he played great, so did Hass for the first time all year. Shame they had to waste it. I can't believe they blew this game, I am about to sell the rest of my tickets god dammit. Hey pep, think they will win more than 1 game the rest of the way even?

oh and I love the Vandelay in the sig.. lol

Well, since we have the Cards at home, I'd say we will win one more.

I have been saying for a while that we will "upset" the Falcons.

Viks and Jets on the road would take a miracle...so, I have us ending up at 8-8, missing the playoffs and looking for a new head coach.

The Rams have a loss to the Eagles coming, probably one to the Panthers, so sneaking into the playoffs is still possible.

Sorry Pepper that may not even be a given how they've been playing lately. Atleast my Dolphins have been consistant. Consistantly bad!

Largent offered Rice the number. I think Rice should have been the bigger man and take #8 or #08 atleast.

Rice called Largent and asked him. Largent said yes. However, what what he going to say "no!"

I am less upset about this now b/c Rice has busted his ass and played well...worthy of wearing the number in my opinion.

I still think that retired ought to mean retired though.

I agree.

That's like somebody in the NHL (if it were around) asking if they could be #99. or into Boston and asking for #33.

When numbers are retired, it means they are RETIRED.

although Rice finally did have a good game on MNF

When Rice was Traded to Seattle ESPN radio Sean Salisbury said Largent offered it to him

no he called largent and asked him and then he offered it to him.
